Transform your life
You have been trying to solve this problem yourself and not finding the answer that sticks. I combine over 30 years of international sport, physiotherapy and psychotherapy expertise to help you move beyond confusion and find lasting clarity.
'I felt safe enough to say things I had never voiced out loud before. I did not realise that they really bothered me'.


Individuals: Recovery from coercive control and high-control environments (relationships, boarding schools, cults). Adjusting to life with disability or life-altering conditions. Processing trauma, including understanding when it is somatic (body-held).
High Performers: When the game ends, the uniform comes off, or the task is finished, who is left? Transitioning from high-stakes environments: sport, military, or emergency services, can involve excellent skills and training, yet have a cumulative impact on the system.
Parents / families: You love your child, but you’re living in fear or frustration of the future and question yourself and the system. For those facing child to parent violence: whether it’s verbal aggression, physical violence, or total shutdown, the traditional parenting strategies are not working.
Clinicians: Who holds the space for the person holding the trauma? If you’re working with PTSD, domestic abuse, or high-conflict families, you need supervision that understands the somatic toll this work takes on you.

Support Tailored for You.
I have experience of what it can feel like as a stranger in your own body and a prisoner in your own home.
My expertise isn't just academic. I’ve lived the reality of non-violent resistance (NVR) through working with those who are care-experienced, survived the weight of coercive control, and agonised my way back from a life-altering neurological diagnosis that ended my international sporting career.
I faced the grief, self-criticism that I wasn't trying hard enough, the mental fog, and the frustration of losing who I was.
With over 20 years of dual-experience as a Physiotherapist and Integrative Counsellor, I support understanding the gap between your mind, body and relationships (including work or sport). I help individuals, parents, and high-level professionals move past the overwhelm and rewire their nervous system for lasting change.
It's time for you:
Who I Help:
Parents/families: Stop just surviving. You don't need more parenting tips. Reclaim your space and your relationships.
High-performers and military: The work that follows you home, or even the loss on the way. Find support to maintain the life you want to live.
High-control survivors: De-program. Rebuild. Reclaim. Moving on from a boarding school, a cult, or a coercive relationship isn't just about 'moving on' - it’s about finding who you were before they told you who to be.
Counselling, supervision or mentoring can support you to gain practical strategies, emotional insight, and lasting inner strength. Let’s get you from surviving to thriving.
